Nature Lake Louise

Lake Louise · 08:13 PM

After a perfect morning in Lake Morraine we headed to the more infamous Lake Louise - many many more tourists there and in fairness what a place

Gawd there are so many shots we took I am soo happy with - Jim we WILL do this again - anyne wants to join PM either of us what a freaking blast

(fall 2012 be there !)

First time in a loooooooong time the glacier has been visible

#1

Chateau Lake Louise a great place albiet a bit $$$$

#2

The water is soo green yet soooooooo cold (about 3 celcius)

#3

Took a stroll on the less popular side of the lake well worth it I think

#4

This shot I really cheated - went well past the do not go past here sign

#5

Yup even in August, you'll be hard pressed to see anyone dare hop in the water there! But it sure does make a great skating ice in the winter!

**Bob Harris** · 09-30-2011, 08:48 PM

Dave, all great shots, but 4 has some wonderful separate reflections in many different shades. thanks Bob

They are all my fav's visually stunning,must be the change in season that brings it to life soo much,Dave.When I need some inspiration rather than
perspiration I will look up yours and Jimbo just to name a few to fire up the neutrons TFS

cheers

Thanks Dave... reminds me of a morning I spent there, the year I hitch hiked out to Van. ( maybe 69). My ride was so determined to see Lake Louise we parked in a parking lot next to the lake at 1 in the morning, slept in the car, and woke up to a very simlar morning. It's all coming back to me now...
